Analysis of Buliding Permits

One of the analysis we performed, was to find out if the 2nd Ave line project has affected the construction of new buildings (and remodeling of existing ones) in the project’s area of influence (basically, phase 1 and 2, because phase 3 and 4 have no funding commitments yet).

Did the 2nd Ave Subway (yellow line), increase the construction/remodeling of buildings in the area?
